Chocolate Chile Tacos

These chocolate chile tacos are a spicy and chocolaty combination that make for a delicious spin on taco night.

Yesterday morning I awoke to a twitter notification on my phone from a doctor (or at least that’s what his twitter handle claims) basically calling last week’s sweet potato bacon biscuits unhealthy.

Now, I can totally take criticism. It may not always be pretty, but I can take it. However, when it comes from someone saying that wheat and white flour are not good choices when referring to a recipe that has neither of those things in it, I get pissy. Do your damn homework and read the recipe before critiquing it, thank you very much.

A few back and forths (because I’m that person that argues over social media and enjoys it) and the final statement from Dr. Wax was “sorry about the error but still not healthy w/ bacon, butter & sweet potato. Sat fat & starchy carbs are delicious poison”.

And that’s where I decided to end the little game we had going on because obviously there’s just nothing to be said to someone who equates a sweet potato to poison.

The McDonald’s shamrock shake (totally disgusting btw – but try my healthier shamrock smoothie instead if you really need your St. Patrick’s Day fix) I tasted for the first time yesterday? Yeah, that I could see as qualifying, but not a freaking sweet potato.

All of which leads me to wonder what the doc would say about this one.

Tacos with chocolate.

Clearly, we might all die if we eat it. I mean, I did use meat with 15% fat and coconut oil and, gasp…chocolate!

Oh, the idiots that inhabit the internet. There’s just so many.

As for the recipe, the spice from the chiles with the chocolate is a totally unexpected combination. It definitely livens things up and gives a fun dimension to the meat.

So if you’re willing to risk your life eating a taco, I highly suggest it be these.

These sound and look delicious! I would be perfectly ok if I died eating a delicious taco! ;) In all seriousness, I really think there should be some sort of IQ test you have to take before being allowed to use the internet – geeze!

HAHAHA amazing. I can’t believe some Drs are still preaching the saturated fat myth. I can only imagine the sleep they’re losing over how many people are putting butter in their coffee now. I’m making tacos this wk & I’m totally going to try cocoa in them- YUM.

its funny how people simply critique a dish without reading or even realizing what they are talking about- dont even worry about those idiots. I am totally risking my heart healthy and trying this. Your pictures are so tempting.

I don’t care about anybody who wants to play I-know-better-than-everybody food critic. I made this tonight, and I’m going to add it to my list of meals to make regularly. Freakin’ awesome!!! Thank you for putting this online.
